Sonhei Deus nas beiras do Ceará
Sonhei de flutuar, felizmente abandonada num verbo dele
Parada no meio do ar, entre o mar e estrelas infinitas
De olhos fechados, sentia encher o céu inteiro
Me deu mais respostas do que precisava
Com o seu sorriso, escutando as minhas pequenas humanas orações
Em cima da batucada do planeta inteiro.
I’m going down my way to New York City
i’m going down the red praias of Cearà
I’m going down, love’s conquering the whole world
watch out babylon, god’s worldwide tonight
Atlantica
sometimes life is beautiful the more it gets mysterious
it’s a world so big it’s both delicious and delirious
we forget that we are small songs made of flesh and blood
but my head is standing up we’re all the same in front of God
